EVA CADO S07 E01 ~ Return of the legends Assigned Legendary Song Race Queen: Madame Sheila Madame Sheila really became a legend for me during the first weeks of All Stars Season 1, she really got herself a redemption from the mistakes in Season 2! In my opinion she got robbed in All stars when she got eliminated by Andrélle but the other queens were obviously scared of her so they got rid of the competition but her legacy still remains intact! Because Madame Sheila really murdered the competition during the first 3 weeks, finishing in the top 2 three times in a row! That's what makes her a Legend in my opinion deserving of a spot in this return of the legends challenge. Son Lux - Yesterdays Wake I chose this song because it is by far the best song Madame Sheila competed with and this song started her redemption and she really left a mark on the competition with it! This song still slaps and is so emotional, it really speaks to me. In Madame Sheila's words: "She’s disgusted with something she has done before or is currently doing, and ultimately punishes herself to recompense but doesn’t feel like anything will be enough to erase her guilt." something I have struggled with too in the past. Punishing myself emotionally is something I tend to do when feeling guilty. I also chose this song because the video is stunning and really brings the essence of the song across and i just love it!

"ELINA" by Lau Nau Sent by Mariah de la Storm in S5E11
0.46+
‘Poseidon’, the album where this magical song was taken from, is a suite of luminous, world-weary songs that exist in a world of all their own, treading the line between chamber folk and experimental pop with a distinctly Scandinavian melancholy, centered around Laura’s beautiful voice and piano. This song is a gem of its own, with lustruous melodies spun from the web of seasons, by turns ghostly and earthy.
Despite having multiple entries to choose from, this, I feel like is the best pick. "Elina" was sent by Mariah to the Winter Ball where she won, but it's placement didn't really matter to me, I absolutely adore the song and I hope the judges are able to recognize the absolute talent that Lau Nau has!
| LYRICS
If I could I would go ten years back in time. Where the willows nod their heads there's a new life in your hands.
Elina, Elina.
I'd take the baby in my arms you'd rest there by my side. Your hair is a drawing on the pillow hear the whispers of the willows.
Elina, Elina. |

starring as... AuthRubio Hacia el fondo
S06 | W06 - Black and White | SAFE"Hacia el fondo" as a song itself is among the more eccentric of synthpop songs; very minimalist yet at the same time, incredibly rich in music and texture - especially in the chorus where Rubio's vocal lines are piercing and almost vindictive in a way. An extremely cold atmosphere for such an upbeat song, further enhanced by its lyricism: Auth herself evaluated that the lyrics have undertones of mysteriousness and "distance, power and control."
I chose this song for two reasons: the first being because I too really enjoy the song, given that I think one of the most important aspects of being a queen is to send songs that you first and foremost love rather than going for something more popular that you don't like: integrity. Auth's herstory is predominantly positive, however - so I don't feel I was limited for choice - but I enjoy "Hacia el fondo" more than any of her other songs.
The second reason is that I believe the song can do better in a different challenge setting. In the W06 challenge, players were assigned into teams and had to explain their choice relating to that challenge's context, which was the colour black in this song's case. Independently, as a standalone song pitted against all the others, the song may have more breathing space to perform well or be more appreciated. The latter part, of course, is completely up to the judges to decide!! 1:17+

"Return of the Legends"
It's the first challenge of Season 7 and I was given the Season one queen "Aless Brasil". I must find a song that she sent that represents her and myself. I chose the song she sent from Season 1 Episode 4.
Song:
Pabllo Vittar "Indestruviel" (Indestructible)
(3:00-3:15)
Why this song?:
Aless Brasil was a legend and also spoke Portuguese. Therefore, I wanted to send a song that was both amazing and emulated the character of my chosen queen. This song was sent along the legendary song "Saturn" for the "Cry for me" challenge. The song and music video discuss suffering and pain but also perseverance and self awareness. This song is truly beautiful,and packs a strong message that us LGBT people can fully understand, It DOES get better. I hope that it will be given it's fair credit in this challenge. Thank you Ms. Aless Brasil for exposing me to this beautiful song.
Lyrics
Portuguese (Original Lyrics)
[Refrão]
Eu sei que tudo vai ficar bem
E as minhas lágrimas vão secar
Eu sei que tudo vai ficar bem
E essas feridas vão se curar
[Verso]
O que me impede de sorrir
É tudo que eu já perdi
Eu fechei os olhos e pedi
Para quando abrir a dor não estar aqui, mas
Sei que não é fácil assim
Mas vou aprender no fim
Minhas mãos se unem para que
Tirem do meu peito o que há de ruim
E vou dizendo...
[Refrão]
Tudo vai ficar bem
E as minhas lágrimas vão secar
Tudo vai ficar bem
E essas feridas vão se curar
Eu sei que tudo vai ficar bem...
Tudo vai ficar bem...
[Verso]
O que me impede de sorrir
É tudo que eu já perdi
Eu fechei os olhos e pedi
Para quando abrir a dor não estar aqui, mas
Sei que não é fácil assim
Mas vou aprender no fim
Minhas mãos se unem para que
Tirem do meu peito o que há de ruim
Eu vou dizendo...
[Refrão]
Tudo vai ficar bem
E as minhas lágrimas vão secar
Tudo vai ficar bem
E essas feridas vão se curar
[Saída]
Se recebo dor
Te devolvo amor
Se recebo dor
Te devolvo amor
E quanto mais dor recebo
Mais percebo que sou indestrutível
English translation
[Chorus]
I know everything's gonna be okay
And my tears will dry out
I know everything's gonna be okay
And these scars will heal up
[Verse]
What prevents me from smiling
Is all I've already lost
I closed my eyes and wished
That when I opened all the pain'd be gone, but...
...I know it's not that easy
But I'll learn in the end
My hands come together so that
All that's bad in my chest goes away
[Chorus]
And I keep on saying: Everything's gonna be okay
And my tears will dry out
Everything's gonna be okay
And these scars will heal up
I know everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be okay
[Verse]
What prevents me from smiling
Is all I've already lost
I closed my eyes and wished
That when I opened all the pain'd be gone, but...
...I know it's not that easy
But I'll learn in the end
My hands come together so that
All that's bad in my chest goes away
[Chorus]
And I keep on saying: Everything's gonna be okay
And my tears will dry out
Everything's gonna be okay
And these scars will heal up
[Bridge]
If I get pain
I give it back in love
If I get pain
I give it back in love
[Outro]
And the more pain I get
The more I notice I'm
Indestructible

"SUBSERVIENT" by Ninet Sent by Jessica Ellen Cornish in AS1E4
2:53+
"Subservient", is a hypnotizing song by Ninet Tayeb, from her latest album "Paper Parachute", which really completes the album as well as Ninet's talent. Her deep vocals as well as the great rhythm the song has to offer, as well as the arabic elements in it, makes you travel through a fairytale.
Jessica Ellen Cornish, is a legendary queen, and despite having many great choices to choose from, in my opinion she really succeeds with this great attempt. "Subservient" is a song that brought JEC, her very first win, and the song deservedly needs some recognition.
| LYRICS
Taking over your body Brashly I'm taking over Nothing to be afraid of Slowly sit on the table
Kisses right on that soft neck And how sweet is your breathing Slowly I’m taking over Right under the table
Subservient. Subservient.
Taking over your body Brashly i’m taking over There’s something to be afraid of Slowly sit on the table |
